Cougar Aqua 280 AIO Review
WEB: COUGAR MSRP: USD $89.99 | AUTHOR: Neo
Cougar is back and this time it’s with their Aqua 280 AIO unit. Part of a brand-new family of Aqua cooling solutions that span the full gamut from 120 to 360mm Radiator solutions. The 280 and 360mm units tailored for high performance and overclocked systems naturally.
In a market filled with cooling solutions though it remains to be seen how well the Aqua 280 can hold its own. With an aggressive MSRP of $89.99 there aren’t many quality AIOs at this price, let alone 280mm units. So just by virtue of pricing alone Cougar already delivers where its competitors may struggle.
Corsair K95 RGB Platinum XT Review
WEB: CORSAIR MSRP: US $199.99 | ZAR TBD AUTHOR: Neo
It may be hard to imagine, but prior to the K95 RGB Platinum XT, it had been five years since Corsair last updated their flagship K95 keyboard. In that time, we’ve seen several excellent offerings from Corsair specifically the MK.2 versions of the K70 RGB and the Strafe. These, proved just as capable and in many ways, more stylish than their premium K95 counterpart.
Now in 2020, Corsair has finally seen it fit to update the K95 and have done so in the most understated way possible. Yet despite these minor changes, they’ve all come together to make an even better keyboard. One that once again can claim to be the best gaming keyboard from Corsair.
Cougar Surpassion RX Gaming Mouse Review
WEB: COUGAR MSRP: US $59 AUTHOR: Neo
Here we again with another Cougar gaming peripheral, specifically the Surpassion RX, following the awesome 700K Evo gaming keyboard we reviewed just a few weeks ago. Much like that keyboard, the Surpassion RX surprises in more ways than one, and makes for one compelling keyboard at an awesome price.

WEB: INTEL MSRP: EU €429.99| AUTHOR: TheOverclocker
With everything that has happened in the Desktop CPU world in 2019, Intel’s had a tough time competing against reinvigorated competition, challenges with security exploits and manufacturing delays. A perfect storm of sorts, but through it all Intel has managed to hold on to two titles, courtesy of the Core i9 9900KS. This CPU holds the honors for the highest clocked CPU in the business and most importantly the highest performing gaming CPU of all. 9900KS availability has proved quite challenging and prices high.

The Core i9 9900KS CPUs have some of – if not – the finest 14nm silicon from Intel and despite it’s age, packs the mightiest punch of all.

Cougar 700K EVO Gaming Keyboard Review
WEB: COUGAR MSRP: US $119 | ZAR 2,099 AUTHOR: Neo
After many years in the hardware and peripherals business, it’s not common one is completely surprised by what is presented to them. When such a thing does happen, it stays with you and this is one such situation with the Cougar 700K Evo. Throughout all of 2019, I think this may be the sleeper hit of the year for me. Strange, thing for an overclocker to say, but it is indeed true. The Cougar 700K Evo is surprisingly good, actually it’s better than it should be at this price.
